Next monday or tuesday could be a different story but until then we are looking for maybe a tenth of an inch or a quarter inch. Some places could pick up a halfinch, especially around the Russian River and north. The roads are pretty good. We do have some congestion on the bay bridge but so far at the toll plaza we have not seen any big delays. I dont think it will cause a big delay. Not enough volume to get traffic slowdown at the toll plaza but you may see some slowing on the bridge itself getting into San Francisco. Nothing major. This is a look at the san mateo bridge. That traffic was good heading out to the high rise. No problems on the dumbarton bridge on the way to the peninsula. Lets go back to the desk. A winter storm of blasting the east coast is bringing lots of snow with Hurricane Force wind and coastal flooding. More than 18 inches of snow has fallen in some areas. Parts of the northeast will have temperatures today in the single digits. Thousands of flights have been can
Advisory. Most of california is picking up on rain, not only us but Southern California also with plenty of advisories. Lets look at what is going on here. Fairly widespread you can see, farther south, we have the rain moving through and a few heavier pockets over the Santa Cruz Mountains and in and around the coastline. Into the central area of the bay, weve got moderate rain reported over areas of San Francisco, along the peninsula, crossing over into east bay and you can see oakland, all the way along i80 towards berkeley, richmond and then into the north bay a little bit, a light, moderate rain over the bay area. This will continue for the entire day. We dont expect much of a let up until tuesday. The winds aregenerally light out there but that will change over the course of the afternoon. The bay side communities expected to see pretty high winds and into the hills as well. There is a Flash Flood Watch for the north bay area, hills and valley locations are the recent burn areas. T
Mountains just be patient everybody is in on some decent totals. The wind advisory starts at noon for the severe Winter Weather advisory but it is mainly rain into late tonight. Over four inches are certainly in the forecast. We have steady relight rain and when the first system moves through it will drop off but the front comes tonight and the rainfall will pick up. And does not matter if you are northeast or west everybody near the coast everybody is a in on the system. This is the best system by far this season. We have not had anything like this since june. Mendocino and lake county will be included. The burn areas, if they get too much rain too fast too soon it will produce some issues even though the ground will suck up a lot of this last week the ground got enough moisture. The stage is being set for a rainy day. You can see the line stretching from Half Moon Bay over to redwood city into san mateo and that is why they have so much rain. 40s and 50s not budging but the wind will
The chp responded to dozens of crashes so far. You can expect there to be likely more this afternoon during the commute. And in Southern California, mandatory evacuations have been ordered near the thomas fire burn zone. That includes parts of montecito and carpentereria. Heavy rain, possible wind, mud and debris flows. Many of the people evacuated were just evacuated last month in the largest ever wildfire here in california. We have live team cringe of the storm this monday. Time vicar is live up tom vicar is live up in the north bay. Ruben is in the south bay moderating the debris removal from creeks. Lets start with our meteorologist rosemary. Advisories in place and the evening drive likely to be a mess. Take a look at the satellite and radar where you can see the entire state seeing this rainfall, including Southern California where we showed you the burn areas there of concern. Here at home the burn areas, the recent burn areas, i would say, of concern as well. I will stop the r
